Be My Guest For A Night Poem by Sahil Sharifdin Bhat

Be my guest for a night.
Don't say No, dear, be polite.
Ten thousand nights you have got!
Just one night can you give not?
I love you as much as I can
Like a burning desert loves rain;
Like a sage loves solitude;
Like a hungry kid loves food;
Like homeless birds love daylight;
Like a blind person loves eyesight;
Like blossoms love morning air;
Like God loves a sinner's tear;
Like poets love the season of spring;
Like girls love the day of wedding.
Love me back before it is late;
Before you put on heavy weight;
Your rosy lips will shrink small;
You pearly teeth will also fall;
Your physical ornaments will disappear
And their jingle I shall not hear.
Add one of my nights some delight.
Be my guest for a night.
Come before our souls go to sky
And under the soil forever we lie.
